Château Pétrus--Vintage 1961
.Pomerol, cru exceptionnel.
.Levels: one bottom neck, one top, three just below top, one upper shoulder. Two capsules cut to verify vintage date and stamping on corks. Good labels.
."..."Rich" in well over a dozen notes since 1967; "black as Egypt's night", even after 18 years in the bottle: magnificently opulent on nose and palate... very sweet, immensely full-bodied, firm yet fleshy, velvety, with high extract masking tannin, lovely texture, slightly chocolaty, crammed with fruit. Worth every penny..." GVWB
